This study focuses on patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma who have undergone Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation. The research examines three different treatment approaches as maintenance therapy: teclistamab combined with lenalidomide, teclistamab alone, and lenalidomide alone. Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies to fight infections.
The study aims to compare how well these treatments work in preventing the cancer from returning after stem cell transplantation. Teclistamab is given as an injection under the skin, while lenalidomide is taken as capsules by mouth. The treatment continues for up to 24 months, depending on how well patients respond and any side effects they may experience.
During the study, patients will receive regular medical check-ups to monitor their health status and response to treatment. The effectiveness of the treatments will be measured by how long patients remain free of disease progression and whether they achieve a complete response to therapy. Patients will also be monitored for any side effects that may occur during treatment.
1Initial assessment
Your eligibility for the study will be evaluated if you have been diagnosed with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and have completed initial treatment with stem cell transplantation
Laboratory tests and pregnancy tests (if applicable) will be performed to confirm your eligibility
2Treatment assignment
You will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups:
Group 1: Teclistamab combined with lenalidomide
Group 2: Teclistamab alone
Group 3: Lenalidomide alone
3Treatment administration
Lenalidomide is taken as hard capsules by mouth in doses of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg
Teclistamab is given as an injection under the skin
Treatment will continue as maintenance therapy following your stem cell transplantation
4Monitoring period
Regular assessments will be performed to evaluate your response to treatment
Blood tests will be conducted to monitor your condition
Your overall health status and any side effects will be tracked throughout the study
5Follow-up period
After completing treatment, you will continue to be monitored for any long-term effects
The study is expected to continue until November 2031
Additional follow-up visits will be scheduled to assess your health status

Teclistamab is a medication that targets specific proteins on cancer cells to help fight multiple myeloma. It works by helping the body’s immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
Lenalidomide is a medication commonly used in multiple myeloma treatment. It works by helping to strengthen the immune system’s response against cancer cells and may also help prevent the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors.
The trial also includes combinations of these medications:
– Teclistamab combined with Lenalidomide is being studied to see if using both medications together provides better results than using either medication alone
– Teclistamab alone is being compared to Lenalidomide alone to determine which single medication might work better as maintenance therapy after stem cell transplantation
These medications are being studied specifically as maintenance therapy, which means they are given after stem cell transplantation to help keep the cancer from returning.
Multiple Myeloma – A type of blood cancer that develops in plasma cells, which are white blood cells that help fight infections. In this condition, abnormal plasma cells multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow, forming tumors in multiple bones throughout the body. These cancerous cells produce large amounts of abnormal proteins while preventing the production of normal, healthy blood cells. The disease typically affects bones, leading to their weakening, and can impact the body’s ability to produce normal blood cells. Multiple myeloma often develops gradually, starting from a precancerous condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).
